Regarding the certainty of the date of pronunciation of the verdict, Enny said that all agendas for completing the PHPU for the presidential election are in accordance with the provisions of 14 working days since the case was recorded in the Electronic Constitutional Case Registration Book (e-BRPK).

In accordance with the timeline stated in Constitutional Court Regulation Number 1 of 2024 concerning Stages, Activities, and Schedules for Handling Disputes in General Election Results, the stages of pronunciation of decisions and submission of copies of decisions for the Presidential Election PHPU case will be held on April 22, 2024.

For information, the Constitutional Court opened the stages of submitting conclusions in the handling of the 2024 Presidential Election Result Dispute (PHPU) case after the end of the trial stages of the case.

"We, the panel of judges, agree that there are things that still want to be submitted, even though this is the last trial, can be accommodated through conclusions," said Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Suhartoyo at the end of the follow-up trial of the 2024 presidential election PHPU case, Friday (5/4).

Suhartoyo said that the stages of submitting conclusions in the previous presidential election PHPU trial were not mandatory. However, in the PHPU case for the 2024 presidential election, there are many different dynamics from before so that the Constitutional Court accommodates the delivery of crucial matters and submission of files that are still lagging behind through these stages.
